"I believe so," Arquette reportedly replied with a raspy voice, adding that “everybody is worried and concerned” about him and that he’s seeing a psychiatrist.

Arquette, who in past conversations with Stern has revealed intimate details of his relationship with Cox and talked about post-breakup trysts, Wednesday copped to bouts of excessive drinking.

"I've been drinking a lot because I'm heartbroken," he said. "It's really a personal, traumatic thing."

The actor went on to describe being drunk at Adam Sandler's Christmas party and calling Tom Cruise “Sean.” While Cruise was “cool” about the mix-up, Arquette said he bailed on the event because he was so embarrassed.

"When I drink, I become a maniac," he explained. "When you wake up and reality hits you, it's hard."

Arquette said he’s now put the bottle down, but he still needs a “mother” figure like Cox or Drew Barrymore, another ex, in his life.

"I know she is with Justin Long and everything, but [how] cool would an Arquette-Barrymore child be?" he said. "From a pure breeding standpoint."
